Sorry to hear that you are still waiting. You can contact USCIS since your filing date is within the inquiry dates posted. If you haven’t received it by now, it has passed their normal processing time window. Good luck!

I tried but it won't let me submit a form online until the date on the USCIS says sep 11. I guess I'll wait another day to submit

So fustrated!!!! Sep 10th and still waiting for approval

If you file jointly you have to request that the IRS treats your spouse as a RA. At that moment you have to report ALL the income over 2018, even if (s)he made it in his/her home country. Apparently you can exclude it later on, but it's a little confusing so we'll use an accountant. Don't use an accountant that doesn't know the rules of immigration and taxes. Tbh I don't think h&r block, turbotax etc are very educated on this.

Ok. So what documentation is needed to report the foreign income. My spouse never had any bank accounts in the foreign country, he received cashed and paystubs.

My spouse had no income. I wouldn't take any tax advice from H&R block. They are probably right that if you didn't report it you would have been fine, but I'm pretty sure legally you are required to report bit.

Ok thanks my spouse hasn't had any income since he moved here in July. But I def appreciate the advice

I don't know how important this is to anyone, but since we have been talking a lot about taxes I'll post it. My wife got her SSN last week and I tried to file married filing joint on Monday but it was declined because my spouses info did not match the e-file database. After some research I realized I had to wait a while. Re-filed today and it was accepted. My understanding is as long as you were married by December 31st you are eligible to file married filing joint just as a regular citizen would and it was extremely advantageous to me as she had 0 income. Hope this helps someone.

Did you report your spouse worldwide income when you filed or no? I went to hr and block and they said I didn't have to include it. 

Does anyone know if an applicant  has a pending assault case will the application be automatically declined?

My case has been in transit for 2 weeks!! 

Can anyone help me? I got a new job this month but they said my name is not in the hr system right now to get an employee verification letter I would have to wait 2-3 paychecks for that info to update. Can I just use my job offer letter and my paystub as verification?

Anyone here from the embassy in Bahamas?

Did any petitioners receive their Bank letter from bank of America? They told me they only show the average balance over the year rather than showing the amount deposited over the previous year (which is required by USCIS) and the banker showed me it in their guidelines for their immigration letters. Will this be okay for me due to the bank guidelines? Help!!

Any person with noa2 date for may 7 received a nvc number yet?

Can I use my employment approval letter and a pay stub as my proof income and employment?

Do you make (line 22 of your most recent tax return) more then what is listed for your family size as listed in the below document? If so you'll have an easy time. Prepare your documents but no need to go overboard with stacks and stacks of proof. They are looking to whether you meet or exceed the income level for your new family.

Yes I make above the poverty line. So there's no need to wait until my 1st paycheck to request documents from bank and my new employer?

Hello! So I started a new job today and decided to wait till my 1st paycheck to get the letter from my employer and bank to. However I won't receive one until June 1st. I think that's a long time to wait and I don't want to hold up the process because we all know the process is dreadful. Can I still request my letter from the bank and employer now or is it better to wait until my 1st paycheck? 

There actually is a may thread already
